I already tried to get this very drive with that coupon earlier this week! At my store, they told me the coupon excluded technology!! I asked them to read to me on the coupon where it excluded technology because I specifically made sure the coupon didn't. He told me the coupon said it excludes computers and that includes everything related to a computer including hard drives?!?!?!

The store manager eventually told me he would try the code and if it worked they would let me have it at the lower price but they entered the code and the system register wouldn't allow it. They said there was nothing they could do.

I don't understand this because I thought Hitachi's hard disk division was bought out by Western Digital.

Note that coupon is 30% off Regularly priced item, and this is a Sale item, so YMMV

EDIT sorry nevermind I did not read all of OP message, discount is off regular price.

tried it at my local OD. No luck; they would not adjust the price to allow for the use of the coupon.

I was initially turned down by the manager on the coupon here in Alpharetta, GA. I went back out to look at the other drives and an employee walks up and asked if he could help me. I told him the situation and he says "we can take the coupon for sure". Sure enough he got the deal done. The cashier said he was the "big guy" and over ruled the other manager. I assume she meant he was the store manager.
